Chapter 4 is in its early stages of development and currently is a document respository for evidence reviews and tools related to IPC in the built environment and decontamination.

It does not currently fall into mandatory requirements for the NIPCM.

Content going forward will be developed via the ARHAI Scotland Infection Control in the Built Environment and Decontamination (ICBED) programme informed by stakeholder engagement and requirements, learning from NHS Assurance programme and outbreaks and incidents.
